'I am as American as everyone else is.' Rep. Ilhan Omar, one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress, defends herself after backlash over controversial comments she made last month regarding the Sept. 11th attacks.

that left 50 people dead. She sought to urge Muslims to speak up for themselves.

"Many people expect our community to feel like it needs to hide every time something happens," she said in the speech. "But repeatedly we have shown them that we are not to be bullied, not to be threatened, we are not to be terrorized, we are strong and resilient, and we will always show up to be ourselves because we know we have a right to a dignified existence and a dignified life.

Abridged versions of Omar’s comments were circulated on social media, and on Thursday the headline on the cover of the New York Post read: "Here’s your something," across an image of the World Trade Center towers burning. Rep. Ilhan Omar walks through an underground tunnel at the Capitol as top House Democrats plan to offer a measure that condemns anti-Semitism in the wake of controversial remarks by the freshman congresswoman, in Washington, D.C., March 6, 2019. Omar said last week that Israel's supporters are pushing U.S. lawmakers to take a pledge of "allegiance to a foreign country." Despite criticism from Democrats and Republicans, Omar has refused to apologize.

Another freshman Democrat, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., took to social media to defend Omar.

She is

NO way is she as American as we are!! Lying doesn't make it so!

Ya ya and I bet you a man too😂😂😂😂

After 20 years in the US she still doesn’t know what happened on 911! WTH

She is not and never will be American, We don't want you here.

Puerto rico sufre hambre y necesidad

Get rid of her

She HAS THE RIGHT to be stupid. Well done I.O.

Attacking Jews and Americans is your problem!

I think you’ve shown your true self with your comments. You are not an American.

'I'm one of your...I put on my suicide vest just like everyone else'

You are not because your loyalty is to another country!!!

Omar claims to be American. Bull shit, you never will be. Face it and just go. One way or the other.

You can fool me.! You are not like everyone one else in America.

Ur muslims killed almost 3000 people for no reason. Innocent people just at work.

Now act like it.

Reelection seems unlikely and will be your judgement

Then why is she not described as an American? She identifies as her gender and religion only

Not controversial at all. Blown into fake outrage.

She’s a disgrace, that’s what she is ImpeachOmar

No Omar, you’re not as American as everyone else. Your comments and for beliefs separate you from true Americans. Finish your term in office and find something else to do.

YOU ARE NOT AN AMERICAN! You came here and got a paper of citizenship. But AN AMERICAN CITIZEN WOULD WANT ILLEAGALS TO COME HERE LEAGALLY!. OH WAIT! YOU DID COMMIT IMAGRATION FRAUD! Hopefully you will be under Indictment soon and will be forced out of office!

Yeah Right, American? Pretty sure should would back stab America for her home country in a heart beat. Trying to minimize what muslim terrorists did to the USA. Can't have it both ways IlhanMN , What happens to Traitors in congress-Stoning?

Thanks a lot Minnesota

No, it appears you are not....

Then she should act like it...it's called assimilation!

You not American.

Not if she must be described as a Muslim woman. Is SpeakerPelosi a Christian woman? How many Jewish woman are in Congress?

Vote her out.

Ask the deliverance hillbilly mcconell to recite the entire oath of office he took when ge was elected. With out footnotes or the paper in f typnt of him

Most Americans respect our country and get repulsed talking abt Al-Qaeda, for some reason you don’t .

Didn’t know the typical American marries their brother to commit immigration fraud and says “some people did something” when referring to 9/11 like 68.

Sure you are.

Saying you're American, but not doing anything to defend her or honoring her is like saying a sperm donor is a Father.

No she is not. She hates America. I hate her.

Don’t ever forget

Right! You’re as American as the French, the Poles, the South Africans, the Italians, et. al. Got it.

Reading the comments here just confirms to the rest of the world how truly dumb Americans are 😑

Terriost

I sure don’t see her as an American. Sharia law is not American! Neither is cair!

Sad, she need to defend herself because she’s black muslim woman. Residing POTUS don’t have to do that because he’s white.

No baby you are not. Don’t fool yourself. If Obama is still Kenyan who are you ? You are very Somali

Act like one then!!!

Who are the men controlling her? She doesn't have the abilities to create this much division or hate.

What is it about America that she loves? And if she does love America so much why is she trying to change America into her version. Maybe real true Americans that were born here don't see a need to change. Maybe she should change her home country to her likings.

Impeach her now ! She is not good for this Country in Congress

IlhanMN Ilhan is Antisemit, Anti-American. RemoveOmar

she’d follow the dress code in Congress. We allow culture diversity but follow the set up basic culture, rules of the law business practices, English speak in the country! Wisdom is not force everything from your previous country into the country. Omar

Support, Protect, and Defend our Constitution and you will become one of us.

She is and is brave enough to speak out against AIPAC and their danger

Other then defending terrorists

Living in America doesn’t automatically make you American. Omar! Your presence in Congress is a horrendous error that needs to be corrected.

No, not like the people who died in 9/11 neither Dan.

Not as American as Trump , you must be Born in the USA to be President

Telling more lies aren't you Omar

She.need open Investigation Null Citizens .FBI

NO!! IlhanMN is NOTAMERICANENOUGH when she endeavors to MITIGATE 9/11 ISLAMIC TERRORISM!!!!!! Get it?😡😡

She needs to walk back her tasteless remarks. And the democrats need to quit trying to convince everyone that SHE is the victim. Was a crass statement made to down play the worst terror attack on American soil!

LETS TAKE A VOTE ON THAT

Great lady 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Far from it lady

Giggling Omar.

No she is not as American as anyone else. She is a bigoted woman who has brought hateful rhetoric from Somalia.

“Some people did something”

She fucking did not make any controversial statement words matter

No witch, your not. You continue to attack and malign our nation and the patriots residing here. You need to step down and get professional help.

No American says what you said

On paper only. You are NOT like the rest of us.

Build the wall and put her on the other side.

This woman has no business being a lawmaker. She has a fixation with the bandage on the head. It overheats the brain.

Ilhan is not American. Muslims tend to put prioritizing religion over country. Most muslim majority countries are war-torn and or implement savage laws. Non inclusive of jews, christians... etc. Her attitude towards 9/11 was disgraceful, but expected.

Yeah, no! This woman is the most anti-American radical I've seen in a long time! But, at least she's honest about her hateful views! People should believe her when she shows them who she is. IStandWithIlhanOmar

She is a terrorist!

illegals are not. She had to marry her brother to be legal

I DON'T TRUST HER AND NOT JUST BECAUSE SHE IS MUSLIM

I disagree. I, a Minnesotan, says she’s Unamerican and Unpatriotic.

Interesting

American....yeah right!!

SHE IS NOT LOYAL TO USA!! KNOW THE ENEMY, PEOPLE. THIS IS ALL PART OF THE COMMUNIST AND ISLAM AGENDA -

'...controversial comments...'!!!! The women openly supports terrorists.

America will become a muslim country in 20 yrs .

No, she really isn’t. Her statement is absurd.

IlhanMN if you are truly “as American as everyone else” then condemn the 9/11 act of war on America by the cowardly terrorists! Say it! Say the Muslim extremists terrorists are the cowards they truly are! Tell people they don’t represent true Islam! Say it!

And by the way ABC is chock full of FAKE NEWS!

OH REALLY?

She is, some people cant stand that she is. The people that should leave the country are the ones that disagree, not the ones that havnt done anything wrong.

They were not controversial and her comments were about the backlash all muslims face over the actions of SOME. This isnt hard ABC.

This woman does not respect or honor the USA She needs to be removed from Congress

vote her out

Not controversial at all. What’s controversial is how her comments were skewed and used to perpetuate racism and hate by the GOP, right wing pundits and trump

IStandWithIlhan

I don’t see her as a true American especially when she continues her hate speech about Jews and Americans.She wasn’t born here,she will never love this country like a natural citizen.She should go back to Somalia & live there again for a while maybe then she could appreciate USA

She is an American, she’s been here for 20 yrs. this is her home, she has every right to be here. Most of those complaining proudly display the confederate flag, now that is un-American

Ilhan Omar practically destroyed that liar Benjamin Netanyahu

She is not in defense mode, she is speaking out. There is a difference.

Trojan Horse complicit.

BS.

Just another news hound

Nope

Lol if that’s true then why doesn’t she denounce Hamas and Sharia Law?

OH? Prove it! Prove it Ilhan that you love America!

She sucks

No, she isn’t.

Abc news defending the liberal left again

Ilhan she can't be trusted, let her end her term n be done with it. an embarrassment to Minnesota

She should be removed from office. Her rhetoric is offensive and Anti American. She is a traitor in thought and speech. There is tolerance and then there is stupidity. Leaving her in Congress is the latter.

She is more American than any of the people attacking her and that is fact.

Omar? No. She is not.

The Democrat party must really think there are more anti-somatic anti-American voters in this country than really are.

Deport her

This woman WILL NEVER be an American! “American Immigrant” maybe.

Kick her out 👍

You are not American never will be 🤢🤮💩. 👮🏻👮🏿💯🙏🏻🇺🇸

The only upside I see to having her in Congress is we won't have to send our troops 7 thousand miles away to fight the terrorists. We'll just send them to the mid west.

You dress in the same garb of the traditions from where you hail from? Then you say you’re as American as apple pie? Do you see most Americans walking around dress like that?

Sometimes the best Americans have chosen us. Maybe even recent arrivals.

Funny? They come to this country to get away from all the traditions and restrictions of the country they come from...when they get here, all they want is to enforce said traditions and restriction?

It’s starting...the islamaphobia thing.

As someone said what she is saying back in 2002 Maybe we could have avoided the Iraq and Afghanistan. Everybody was marching to the rhythm of the Patriotic drum and it led us Straight to Hell!

Well she has her Starbucks and her phone.

Just another sick mind.

An 'American' wouldn't spew the hatred for the country that you do, Ms. Omar. You are as anti-American a person as I've seen in a long time. You're right up there with the rest of the Marxists Democrat haters, but you're more vocal so we know your heart better.

You are anti semitic. Very much. As we can see and hear from you. Resented.

Right all Americans marry their brother and think 3000 Americans killed by muslim terrorist, just because they went to work, is just 'some people doing something'. Absolutely disgusting and disgraceful. As are ALL DEFENDING HER.

I’m just hoping that the democrats keep defending everything she says all the way up to the 2020 election. TRUMP2020

What about this remark?

American ? Next joke line please . ..

Absolutely not..

They weren't 'controversial.' And she's done more for 9-11 First Responders than the Orange One and his heinous party.

She lies well thats how she was ellected

SOMEONE IS A CONGRESSONE

Impeach!

Really?

No actually you aren’t. Get out

The simple fact that she has not once condemned the actions of a Muslim group including the law that allows gays to be stoned to death shows me that she fully supports her faith and does not give a damn about the country she was elected to represent. IlhanMN getout

No your not!

You are not American alien 👽 head !!

This what's makes politic most exciting games and deadliest adrenaline, it can't paints, black or whites, fragrances and noxious odours.

Nope

Never

The Dems seem to spend a fair amount of time defending and explaining what she says.

She spoke absolutely right it was somebody from Mostly Saudi Arabia the one Trump protects somebody but you can't call him Islamic terrorists and Muslims like Trump does 8 minutes reporters don't know the difference

The same applies to her as Pence. As a politician you do not get to govern by your faith. Not everyone you serve has the same faith as you. Church and State needs to stay separate in order to be fair to your voters.

“When are we gonna decide or realize that terrorism is a reaction?” the host asked Omar, an activist at the time. “It’s an ideology, it’s a means of things, it’s not an entity, it’s not a place, people. It’s a reaction to a situation.”

Uh.... No you’re not IlhanMN Ilhan

I'm very tired of trumps inciting riots and violence against people. It's petty and also illegal, calling for serious jail time. He needs to be ousted, arrested and tried in a court of law.

No. Don’t think so.

The only controversial thing about it is you the media hold the lie high. DUMBFUCKS FUCKDAMEDIA

To be an American you need to be proud of America and what she stands for. Omar is not a proud American and does not deserve its citizenship.

The phuck she is.

She can “STOP THE PICKING ON ME” Syndrome anytime. She Sounds like a kid in high school!

No one said she wasn't an American. Unfortunately there's alot of people that live in this country and seem to hate everything about it. She is free to make any comments she chooses, and everyone is free to call her out if they disagree. Nothing to do with religion or skin color.

She is not an American. She is a disgrace to our political system and proof that the politics in Minnesota are bought and paid for. Someone rich paid for her election. It’s that simple. The system is rigged Ask people in Minnesota who they voted for. It wasn’t Omar!!!

cadet bone spurs is a demented despicable unfit unstable,,,,civil servant w multiple violations of the US CONSTITUTION,,,,ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS MUST IMPEACH OR BE VOTED OUT STAT.....AMEND 25 KARMA

Hateful fool needs to be removed from her position, and deported to Somalia ASAP.

?

No you are not!

No actually your not and you have no clue !!!

the enemy within

She is a terrible blight on congress. Ship her out.

All she is , is the DNC spending huge $$$ trying to ensnare more votes , without DNC money she would never have been elected !!!!!

You don’t talk like it!!!!!

So you say...... but your actions and words do agree. 3000 Americans died and you can’t accept your religion did it.

Sorry don’t buy it! Nothing about her says American, not the things she says, not the way she dresses, not the way she acts, and especially not the things she is fighting for! The only thing that might make her seem American is the cell phone she is always on.

I guess all Americans wear head scarfs?

Right!

No your not. No American would describe 911 as a group of people did something. We know exactly what happened!!

No, Ilhan , you are not.

Yes, she is an American. The trouble is many Americans feel America is “the land of the free and the home of the brave” and that Israel is our friend. Omar feels America was founded on genocide, is steeped in racism and maintains power by neocolonialism & Israel is an oppressor.

You are not! “Some people did something.”Remember “raise hell?””Get in there faces” You want a war we will give you one.

She is no American if she disrespects what happened on 9/11,she needs to go

What controversial thing did Ilhan said? NBCNews cbs stop regurgitating the news.

Correction: Rep.Ilhan Omar one of the first American women elected to Congress that is Muslim. We don't report the first Catholic, Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Budist women, unless you see Muslims as extraordinary, in that case the revelations in the 'good' book is true. IlhanMN

Is that traditional American headwear?

Asking for leniency for Isis recruits and demanding the release of a Muslim Brotherhood senior leader, Hoda Abdelmonem, makes me question that.

Sure you are.

I don’t or won’t trust her ever

She just needs to resign. (She may need to look up what that means on a dictionary) She isn’t American she is anti everything about my way life! She needs to go!

How did this lady get elected? We will live to regret it if we don’t watch this person very closely. Be careful what information we allowed her access! Something seems very wrong!

This entity is a benchmark to our diversity.. we can only hope that somewhere in all the rhetoric.. that life is.. in this vessel..?!! Please refrain from making a mockery of our failures..?!! The only way out.. is back.. to the Isis of Independence?!! We salute your incredulance

I support you IlhanMN

Jajajjaja si claro ,todos los estádounidenses quieren q dejen libres a los putos criminales terroristas sanguinarios asesinos de 11 de septiembre jajajaja sinverguenza 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Some so call American disrespect our country . Impeach ASAP.

Nice try . If she was not a Congress woman today, she could have easily become an Isis bride. She spills evil, hateful, Anti Jews, Anti Christian and divisive comments all the time. Who refers to the disaster of 9/11 as 'Some People Did Something'. She kept on saying 'They'

Rite

Yeah she’s American. Just one of the kind that hates their own country.

More American than traitor Trump is

Listen to Rep Omars entire speech not that narrative BS the haters put out to create this idiotic, racist malice & bullying she's being subjected to. She didn't say anything wrong about 9/11, it's the hate group formed against Muslims afterwards. Some people did do something!

Sh is running the wheels off her credibility

Divide divide divide

Ps nobody is falling for it Cept for bots n brainwashed

No she is not.

I hate her wing of the party. But her comments are not controversial. They were intentionally interpreted in bad faith by a hack congressman.

Then perhaps she should act like it. Her mockery of Americans and criticism of America & her allies is almost a daily occurrence.

Come on ! We all know that her sentence was taken out-of-context 🤦🏻‍♀️

As American as Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. Omar on the attack on Pearl Harbor: “some people did some things.” 🙄

Ya ya and I bet you a man too😂😂😂😂

She is more American than half of the people that was born in America

ABC, she did not make controversial comments. Fix this headline. Some racists realDonaldTrump and DanCrenshawTX called her remarks that because they are racists.

She's knows more American history and the Constitution as opposed to you know who!

That's Trump stirring up trouble just like a school bully!

You are not, most aren't full of hatred

Than plz Act like it! Don’t minimize a terror attack that killed Americans and Muslims as well. Some of those American Muslims were fire fighters, in the towers that fell, in the planes that went down in those fields.

Ilhan Oman is a terrorist she is working for Hezbollah, Iran, and ISIS

She's a fraud

I don’t trust her !

Don't kid yourself can't convince the true American citizens!

I really do not know, or am aware of any other AMERICAN knowingly marrying their BROTHER...So...no...no you are NOT.

She is a liar. She openly supports terrorist organizations.

But far more of an anti-Semite.

This is America we learn from our mistakes she wont happen again

Not even close.

Nah.

A nice smile is not an excuse.

If that were true you wouldn’t need to keep telling us.

Oh no you are not an American.

Oh no she is not.

No you are not

She is as bad Trump. If some random Soviet 'model' from Slovenia and her parents can become American citizens , why can't she? Trump and Ilhan present extremist viewpoints that is an subverted version of the truth simply because it serves their political narrative.

Jihadi as they come, straight from Somalia.

She’s a trouble maker!!

No American would describe the events of 9/11 as 'some people did something.' You are a vile, foreign-born, anti-American, subversive, Jew-hating, Somali with Somali values, training, and cultural touchpoints. Other that that, you're awesome!

IlhanMN No, you’re not even close. terroristlover

She hates the country that has given her freedoms and opportunities undreamed of by Muslim girls in Somalia...

She's a democrat with a radical view. She must be sacked so that she can stay neutral with no Democrat's pulling power. This way she can say anything but for only one term.

Why did she even come to America if she hates the people & it's ideology? She should be stripped of her citizenship & sent back to Somalia. Let her incestuous brother go with her.

I'm not American... But I don't agree with this lady... She obviously has some back-thoughts.

Who gets to decide her comments were controversial? Just because trump and republicans get their noses out of joint doesn’t mean she said anything wrong at all! This is a smear job, not based on anything factual. Not surprising Trump has no successes to campaign on

Well Americans are a sensitive to the terrible events of 9-11. She is not.

The coffee cup gave you away.

Yes, IlhanMN many Americans marry their brother... No, I know it’s Game of Thrones Day, but this is not a thing...

LeslieMarshall omar you are anti American , anti semitic and should not be here in this country...PERIOD! 😡

Then she should act like it.

Narrator: She is, in fact, not.

Her comments weren’t controversial.

I don’t know any other Americans that cheer for the terrorists.

No, she isn’t American. Americans recognize state-sanctioned war by the likes of Iran and Saddam Hussein and recognize Jews aren’t the cause, they’re part of the answer.

American should mean a love of freedom and denouncing socialism and tyranny

She's a good looking woman. Too bad her comments set back the women's movement. She makes it appear that beautiful women can't look good and have brains also.

Oh please like every other millennial she hates this country and everything it stands for but at least she has her religion too blame.

I SUGGEST YOU WATCH-Mr.Smith Goes To Washington! How about ALL of Congress watch it!🇺🇸🤷🏻‍♀️

No, you’ve obviously proven that you’re not! You’re a radical Muslims ticking ⏰ in halls of Congress 💣.

No you are not.

No she isn't. No one who believes in Islam is.

No.. she isn’t American at all, she is Somalian, just visit her district

THEN ACT and TALK like an American.

Needs to go back

I forgot to mention this bitch married her own brother. The Dems said that’s fine.

No, because If you’re a true American, you would never had made that comment!

No, she is not.

She married her brother.

Nope sorry your not a true born American! Your just a ignorant immigrant thrusting your asinine views and ignorance on those of us who were born and raised in USA. Go back to Somalia and thrust them there

No she is not.

No she’s not. She no true American. If she is American she can worry less about the Muslim is Somalia and more about the ones that are here. The ones that voted her into congress. She is fighting for the ones in her country.

How does she feel about what's happening to gay men in Brunei with strict new Islamic laws that are calling to stone them to death? It's time for a statement on that.

Deport

Bullshit she is about as American as Thea’s Guys

My issue with Omar isn’t this statement, it’s that she makes controversial statements about every other week. She is an American. But she is an American with more interest in religion & foreign affairs than 🇺🇸 & her own constituents.

You need to resign you have no respect for our president and beliefs and don’t say it’s because of your color or racism it’s because you don’t want to be an American you keep saying you remember where you came from then go back

Her comments were not controversial. What Trump has posted is controversial.

Lol. Nor. Try again

I guess I don't understand why people are upset. What she said was simply the truth.

No, your vitriol hate for this country and her citizens shows you are not an American.

NOT!

This bitch would have to love this country that saved her and took her in instead she hates everything about it. Should of left her and her family in the shot hole they were found in

'See I drink Starbucks and have an iPhone'

Her comments were not on 911. They were on 911 being exploited to fuel racism, to fearmonger and for political traction. Do better.

I just love Ilhan Omar. She's a true queen. A true person for the people. May Allah continue to bless her.

She is every bit as American as those who flew planes into the twin towers.

rusteddusted Send her back to country she loves 🐕

How about some fucking accuracy in your headline writing. She was quoted out of context. Mention that, dickwads

She doesnt act like she is. Quite the opposite.

When you make insensitive remarks about an extremely painful part in US history you’re NOT as American as everyone else 😡

She is American who hates America. The country that gave her freedom. Doesn’t make sense. Needs to go back to her original country and learn to appreciate USA.

Anti American words spoken from her EVERYDAY!

Are Americans allowed to marry their brothers?

Most Americans aren't criminal or terrorist supporters.

She’s garbage

She won't be a member of Congress after 2020 election! I can think of two more radicals that won't be a member of Congress either after 2020 election! KeepAmericaGreat2020

Ya know, I don’t think I get that vibe from her. Correction: nope, I definitely don’t.

Humm guess that makes it all ok... Nope And she is holding an office

“...and by ‘American,’ I mean racist, bigoted, not adept at speaking and kind of hating America.”

i support IlhanMN

An american who committed immigration and student loans fraud before marrying her brother so he could get the visa also. An american who advocates for sharia and laughs about terrorism. A true american like everyone else.

Deceitful written all over her face.

IlhanMN is not American she support from Louis Farrakhan & David Duke the 2 most disgusting racist pigs anywhere. Americans helped her get a new life with freedom and all she does is bad talk us. She is a disgusting POS and needs to go back where she came from

She’s annoying AF

Anti-semitic racist.

Americans should disavow terrorism regardless of religion etc!

No she ain’t

IStandWithIlhanOmar Hang tough, be strong, diversity is our greatest strength. Wasn’t that long ago they did the same tired old crap to the Irish. Now they wear Green hats and drink Guinness every March 17th.

You cannot be both Muslim and American. You cannot serve both the Quran and the constitution. Pick-choose-decide.

Just like Hoda Muthana

Its like politics play hard to get for even politicians. All politicians were concerned from behind their body because of 911. Red flags big time.

Funny, 63 million Americans voted for and still support Trump as our President...does that mean you now support Trump as well?

Ummmmmmm no!

ABC SUCKS!

Why are you defending her?

American women don’t cover their heads every day of their lives because men tell them to.

Yes she's USA citizen by paper but not with her ❤️ OMAR===Dangerous

She needs to be deported, she's not a real American.

Then why did You state 'some people' when True Patriotic American's know and would have No Problem saying Muslim Terrorists were responsible for this Horrific action on America.

She is not n American! Didn’t she marry her brother to get citizenship? Isn’t that illegal?

You’re a refugee who should thank the Lord you were able to come to this country. Nothing more nothing less than my ancestors who came here 200 years ago.

Get rid of this women dangerous for this country

What're you people waiting for? You know where they live, 'save them' from the misery. IlhanMN AOC

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

No Way !

No. You married your brother to get in here. I think there is some questioning on how you can even become a American under such a sketchy scenario. On top of that eww!

No she isn’t.

Was she born in the USA?

She has no business at all being in DC....she needs to be gone.

She has no place, in any role, in the US Government, nor does AOC RashidaTlaib SpeakerPelosi - they are an abomination to the foundation of the United States & they go against every freedom that you don’t even know you hold dear. Remove them from office now, realDonaldTrump

After the 9/11attack here is the second by the last administration, but now with this new girls in congress they looks like they go more far...

treason traitor fakenewsabc

Wrong

I think it would help her to be more careful with her words. And yes, she is just as American as any other American of any other race, religion or culture in America. We need to remember that. We are a mosaic of culture, so we have to understand, respect, forgive, love each other

Liar, she hates the American way of life and is trying to change it from the inside. Don't be fooled

She cheated to get in, and cheaters are liars... Politics is a venue for people who really love the nations and the people of the nations they represent.. Omar does not love America, she doesn't even know what America is..

Sorry, but you are not

The hell you are. TrojanHorse

Ummmm.....not really.

She can barely speak English much less understand what makes America the coolest nation in the world..

Too late. We all know where you stand. You've proved it through your words.

Not everyone.

No you are not. 🙄

no one is claiming all muslims r guilty for 9/11. but rep omar's demeaning of the pain n suffering of victims n all americans is intolerable. we the ppl know that not all muslims r islamic terrorists, n that all islamic terrorists r muslims. we have a right to protect ourselves.

Yeah right 🙄

I really don't think you are going to be re-elected.

She didn’t make any controversial comments, she was standing up for 9/11 workers and her community in the aftermath of 9/11. You know who made disgusting racist comments? The White Supremest acting like POTUS! Correct your misleading headlines! DO BETTER!

Quit giving that anti-Semitic, un-American jihadist a platform,

That's some funny shit right there

when she stoos speaking stupidly, she may stop getting stupid reactions.

She wants you dead.

No, no you're NOT---far from it.....

It is shameful this lady is in the govt! How did the people of Minnesota allowed this bs to happen? This is pitiful

Go to Hell!

Nope

She's about as American as Benedict Arnold.

Maybe if she denounced the extreme ideology and actions of the extremists on 9/11, with the same fervor with which she attacks Israel...

Bergdahl is an American too. Ask me what I think of him? IlhanMN

Rep. Ilhan Omar, as an America You are One Sick Lady

American is as American does... my mama always used to say... When one openly despises all things American, one does not love America, and why would America-haters live here then?

Please stop headlining this as controversial remarks, they were nothing out of the ordinary. Thanks for promoting stupid GOP spin propaganda

She’s as American as any Somali pirate or terrorist

Has Omar commented on the Muslim man who threw a child he didn’t know off the 3rd floor yesterday in Minnesota ....or did she just say “somebody did something?”

She’s a sleeper agent

She’s not like vast majority of Americans. She is a terrorist enabler / sympathizer.

Then Act Like It Omar 😖

Jihadist ..

This is your Democrat Party folks. Soon to be called “Islamocrats”

Horse shit !!

It seems simple to me she’s a racist..

Sharia compliant?

First of all her words are spoken by her! Second the axiom you are attempting to apply here is referred to as “The acceptance of ignorance” If that is the case then you must apply the same axiom to anything spoken by the president. So here is my analogy of her. UsefulIdiot

She married her BROTHER!

you may be american legally because of our unrivaled generosity and kindness, but you are certainly no american at heart. you hate the country and people who welcomed you in and gave you all the opportunity in the world.

Lol

NO YOU ARE NOT. NOW LEAVE

I don't really know anymore. Too many comments about Jews and their influence in politics anti Semitic tropes and now that comment. If you said some very evil people did something that killed 3000 people but you didn't. You did not even critique or condemn the terrorist

Throw her out!!

David Duke couldn’t agree more.

And mainstream media backs this crap. She is anti Semitic and has no business in our Congress. Here come the UK and Europe. See how well Muslims have affected their government and countries.

There was nothing controversial in what she said. You are part of the problem ABC.

She didn't make a controversial statement. You are.

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS !!!

You are not as American as everyone else. Your a straight up piece of s...

Then walk the walk

I’mal qaeda as much as Osama Bin Laden is that should read. You don’t have a drop of American blood in your body, you are not American. You are simply in America don’t get it twisted. Being in America doesn’t make you an American. In my book you are the equivalent to a terrorist

The Democrats can keep her.

Maybe act like it..

No , your not !!! 😡😡

Wrong Ilhan! You place your allegiance to the Caliphate, not the UNITED STATES! YOU are inciting hate and divide as part of your jihad! Part of the Muslim intent to DOMINATE the world! IlhanMN

IlhanMN speading her religions doctrine of hate. And you Demi’s who defend her are to stupid to see she hates you too. Some People didn’t fly planes into the Twin Towers. Muslins, your people did. You can’t cover that up.

She should be apologizing! There is no defense for what she said! IlhanMN

No you’re not

Now if only she gave the same courtesy to others.

No - no you're not.

No she’s not. She is not even remotely American.

You’re a LIAR. No apology. STILL No acknowledgement of 9-11 POTUS OWNS YOU. Fraud NeverForget

Can we parse that statement?

This guy hate USA 🇺🇸

'I am as American as everyone else is.' Rep. Ilhan Omar, No You are not As a American Vietnam Veteran Omar You Have Bash Veterans in congress and you have spit on the Jewish People with your comments. I just signed a lettter to have you removed from Office. Join Me America

She is evil llhanomar

BS

Do not trust her, she is a terrorist supporter! How Minnesota elected this sorry excuse is beyond me.

We disagree.

Having a paper saying u are American does not make u one in the heart. What is in the ♥️ usually comes out of the mouth. So far, she is failing miserably!

Personally, I'm tired of hearing about how everyone misunderstood her words! We understand her clearly that she's anti-semitic- anti-Trump- for releasing terrorists - pro-CAIR-MB-Hamas meetings - married her brother & married to 2 men - & used her donations for a divorce lawyer

So long as you really support America before everything else. I’ll tell any Christian the same, if your religion gets in the way of you supporting the USA, go somewhere else.

this is beyond sensing a pattern here, this is here entire party enabling her along with the press trying their best to defend her rhetoric

So if we said Mohammed was just sum guy who did something in sum cave or something; n thats all...Is that offensive? Hypocrite. On 9/11 we all said 'WE WILL NEVER FORGET' Now the LEFT/Muslims wanna FORGET n those who died. ISLAM itself conflicts with our Constitution AOC Ilhan

Now America is a meltdown pot

Then Ilhan show us how you love this country.

Yes your just as American as anyone else, that doesn’t excuse you from the hate that you preach against Jews!

IlhanMNisaracist

Omar is a wolf in sheep’s clothing laying in wait for the unsuspecting sheep. Pelosi put her on the Foreign Affairs Committee and she has security clearance. Omar is not to be trusted.

Not any Americans I have ever known

They did not pose for this, honest

She didn't make a controversial comment about 9/11. She made a controversial comment about civil liberties. She clearly focused on her topic. She referenced 9/11 as its self explanatory what happened. It gives more impact to her point by not saying anything further about the date

UNamerican

Some how someone made these disappear..

She is just some lady, who says some stuff sometimes.

She won’t ever come back from this.

She needs to apologize

But, she's made it known America's war on terrorism is offending her (cuz it's all about her feelings). Rather than respect America's war against terrorism, she'll dismantle it. She downplay terrorism. Doesn't she know ignoring terrorists, is more dangerous than fighting it?

See 'The Skeptic's Annotated Quran.' Besides the religious bullshit, note the amount of hate. Of course, believers have no answer to the question 'How do you know that this stuff is true?'

I don’t understand how Americans trusted her? We are muslims and we know that she is supporting the terrorist and Alqaeda. You guys should voted for real Americans not this lady who merried her brother!!

IlhanMN Just a reminder. Rep. Ilhan Omar IlhanMN is an American 🇺🇸 and is a co-sponsor of the 'renewal' of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund VCF

Is she pro-America? No, she emphasizes the Muslim unique, but she doesn’t want to join the melting pot and she is definitely anti-Semitism. Oh, BTW, are Muslims ever TRULY integrated within the local society?

So is trump. Where’s ur argument? Weak

'some people did something'

As a member of CAIR I believe she is complicit with the people that minimize 9/11.

I don't trust anyone who wont eat bacon

then defend america as everyone else two faced

🌷

Never before have I heard an American refer to 9-11 as “something”

Did she apologize?

Even the stoned guy gets it.

Lol! I haven’t heard or read one positive thing you have said about this country. It would appear that thr U.S.A has been fairly good to you! Enjoy you 1 term.

You’ve all been lied too this whole time about 9/11 👇🏻

She’s an anti-Semitic terrorist sympathizer. She’s not more American than anyone else. It’s blatant. She’s not a good person. It’s pretty much criminal she’s in Congress.

Just because you’re an American doesn’t mean you aren’t a shitty person IlhanMN

Rep Ilhan Omar, your first duty as a Congresswoman, is to defend the United States of America First from any foreign threat, , from Europe to the Middle East. If you can't defend America first, you should resign as a member of Congress.

Somewhere something happened? IlhanMN

She is the result of letting the wrong people into the US.

If you tweet IStandWithIlhanOmar then YouStandWithTerrorists

She needs to find a real job!!! Maybe in the military to help defend our country and get a REAL understanding of what ( some people did something)

You’re an antisemitic bigot. If that’s what being American is, which it now seems to be, then you’re correct

She will now be forever known as Ilhan “Some People Did Something” Omar.

Your words say otherwise.

Notice that she never says 'I love USA' or 'I'm loyal to USA'. This is a continuous pattern when she speaks about how she sees USA. She always says 'I am as American as everyone else'. Which could mean nothing, if she considers no one an 'American'

Democracy is in peril and those stirring the pot of evil on 'both sides' need to shut up.

Pray Tell, what comments did she make...To continue to tweet out Lies about.IlhanMN is party of RightWingMedia Via the aid & Complicity of the DCNY Press, being a Propaganda apparatus in spreading Hatred against a Hijab wearing Black Muslim woman. STOP This, Now. This Is UGLY.

What comes first though Mecca or America? Same question for Christians, Catholics and Jews. Washington DC or Jerusalem or Rome ? IF one had to fall which would it be? No offense, I just find it confusing.

When America was great, She wasn't in it. American? LOL...

Everyone's entitled to their opinion...

POS

How about 'defends herself from completely invented nonsense.'

She’s a radical Islam. Kick her out of the USA.

Being American means being from literally any walk of life in the entire World. From the beginning of the US being an American meant being a member of a melting pot.

Bullshit she is.

Actually most Americans aren't Salafist sympathizers out to make excuses for Islamist terrorists. On another note, guess she's taking a break from going after Jooos.

No. Just no.

I don’t think so. Heard her speak multiple times and I am amazed folks voted for her. Her comments about 9/11 were a Deal Breaker for me 👎👎👎

Yes!!!!!!!!! She’s as American as melania! I mean, do people not understand this?

Huh!

Omar does not acted American. She hasn't show her true colors, only angry dark colors

I don't care what kinda coffee cup you're holdin or what kinda pop socket you got on your phone.... It don't make you american!

........IlhanMN IS NOT AMERICAN............STOP THE BULLSHYT............

Louis Farrakhan is American too. Doesn't mean he's pro-America.

She may be technically American, but she clearly hates America and has a soft place in her heart for Islamic terrorists.

IStandWithIlhanOmar

She should resign immediately. A disgrace and full of hate.

TALK SHIT GET HIT

Let us please as One Nation under God vote this petty 72yr old manchild out of office and reclaim our dignity as a country...
